WinDoor 2018 - Here's what's happening

WinDoor 2018 will take place Dec. 3 to 5 at the Quebec City Convention Centre in Quebec City. It's the first time Canada's window and door show has been held in this historic city. Once again, Fenestration Canada has upped the interest level with not one but two social networking events, show-floor exhibitor demos and a huge education program including a stream for commercial glaziers and fabricators. But it's the destination that will take centre stage - Quebec City in the Christmas season is not to be missed.

DestinationThe Quebec City Convention Centre is a modern facility located downtown right next to the Old Quebec district with all the show hotels within a block or two. The Delta and Hilton are even connected with tunnels. The Chateau Laurier is a bit farther away on the other side of the Parliament buildings, but is a 120-year-old icon with views of the river and the Old Town. All hotels are offering special rates for WinDoor attendees.

Westjet and Porter are offering discounted flights. The airport is about 16 kilometers out of town.

SocialNIGHT AT THE CHAPELLE - WinDoor welcomes attendees with a tour of Quebec all dressed up for Christmas followed by a reception at The Chapel. a 268-year-old deconsecrated church that is now a museum. This one is sold out, but FenCan is maintaining a wait list (email Nancy Thomson at AVFQ to get put on the list) . The tour starts at 1:00 pm on the 3rd. UL/CLEB is sponsoring.

AFTER HOURS PARTY - The After Hours party sponsored by Screenco kicks off on the show floor at 5:00 on the 4th. Eat, drink and make merry, but mostly drink.

EducationThere are three seminar times on the 4th and two on the 5th. Seminars are happening in two streams, commercial and residential. Some presentations are in French.
